To ten Sicily kilometers inside, from the autostrada one that connects Palermo and Cefalu around Termini Imerese (km 26), a highway that ascends to 521 takes to Caccamo. With its houses enquistadas on the mount San Calogero or Eurako, Caccamo has sículos or Carthaginian origins.

With its houses enquistadas on the mount San Calogero or Eurako, Caccamo has sículos or Carthaginian origins. Its spectacular Norman castle on the promontory of the city has its origin in century XI. Extended and reinforced in the XIII with a almenada massive wall, recently has been recovered and enjoys a magnificent state, being probably one of the castles better conserved of all Sicily. Byzantine centuries, as before as much Arab (as the famous geographer To the Idrisi) lists the fortified center, and with the passage of the sarracenos to the Normen, Caccamo are fortified, becoming refuge of the Norman barons.

The city participates in the Sicilian Eves against the angiovino power, and its trusteeship is granted to the Aragonese feudal gentlemen. The continuous rebellions of the subjects before the imposed feudal gentlemen took to reinforce the castles with bordering defensive walls. In the XIX when suppressing itself the feudal rights the family Of Spuches takes control of the castle of Caccamo, turning it until her crossing to the Sicilianao Government into 1963 into a literary and humanistic training center. The castle lodges a hall arms, with standards of the different noble families managed that it, besides a colorful mineral collection.

In Caccamo also the First Church is due to be visited (Norman) in whose interior are works of Gagini and Pietro Novelli, the convent of San Francisco with its cloister of the s. XVI, the church of the Announcement and Monte de Piedad, all of them in the Place Stamp out.
